Taft Today Newspaper Review

The Good
  • The different colored pages helped to draw the reader's attention and gave the Taft Today a distinct vibe
  • I really enjoyed a lot of their graphics, they seemed like they were student created, and that use of original content really helps with establishing a brand
  • I liked the little score report column in the sports section, it was an easy way to quickly see what was happening in the Taft sports community


The Bad
  • A lot of the article headlines were VERY cliché, it felt like they put the most obvious title they could think for their articles
  • The header just doesn't seem creative enough for me with TAFT TODAY in ugly text, and when you are establishing a brand, you want to make the face (the logo) that represents that brand as aesthetically appealing as possible
  • A lot of the articles weren't particularly well-written grammatically, they could've used another once-over from the editors in charge
